USDA Single Family Home Loan Guarantees

Safe, secure, affordable housing is essential to creating a vibrant, thriving rural Vermont. That’s why VSECU has partnered with the US Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development division to offer a loan product aimed directly at rural homeowners and homebuyers.

Funds from a Single Family Home Loan Guarantee program can not only be used for purchasing your new home, but also for making energy efficiency upgrades like windows and insulation, closing costs, repairs and rehabilitation costs and more to that home. Most of Vermont is eligible (click here to see ineligible regions) and income requirements vary based on the region in which you live.

FEATURES

Applicants may apply for up to 101% (if including fees) loan-to-value for acquisition loans and for refinance loans there is a 1% upfront fee and an annual fee of .35%. And this loan may be used for additional expenses such as installing fixed broadband internet, grading, foundation plantings, trees and more.
